McNeeley) If Bingham is to have a county commissioner it is now time to begin selecting the timber. tl In Bingham the pay day business is more important than that of the days before holidays and the commission should make a special dispensation in this matter. ' From the information ' at hand it is understood that the county at large is willing for Bingham to name a county commis-sioner, but the county has no intention of coming up here to look for a candidate, Bingham must do that herself. Now that the Liberty Loan campaign and the Red Cross drive are both over it is time to pull down the signs advertising ' the same. They should not be playcarded out of season. Take them down and in a few days replace them with something that will feature the sale of Thrift Stamps. After tomorrow all Bingham stores will commence closing at 6 in the evening. It is possible that an exception will be made to this rule with regard to pay days. The business on such days is' enormous and the volume can hardly be handled on the regular time. With the opening of this month a number of stores started in closing at 6:30 voluntarily because they felt that the clerks were entitled to shorter hours. This movement was headed by the Bingham Mercantile Company, which announced two weeks ahead that it would adopt the shorter hour method. Bingham is still being visited by men who represent all kinds of stock companies and they are making sales here. There is no telling how much this business amounts to annually. They come and work the town and depart, and the town treasury gets no bene-fit. It would be very appropriate to have a license tax for these salesmen. This would increase the revenue of the town, and it would also be an assurance to the prospective purchasers of stock that the man who held the license was an authorized agent of a bona fide concern. Salt Lake City places a tax of $25 on all stock salesmen and finds this a fruitful source of revenue. It would be easy for Bingham to make a little mojiey in the same way. WHEAT AND FLOUR NEEDSOFTHEHOUR But No Need to Pay Dollar a Loaf for Bread as They Did During Civil War. By Proper Use of Substitute Every Family Can Effect Savings of Flour Which Will Redound to Bene-fit of Our Fighting Force. Every pound of wheat available Is needed If we are to fulfill the pledge made by Amerlea, the Commissariat Department of the fighting forees abroad, to supply wheat, sugar, meat and fit. Wheat and flour are the needs of the hour. The food program Is of necessity a changing one, and the demands Increase In direct ratio to the Increasing numbers In the field. We know that the courageous spirit of the women rises to meet every new situation. 'Just now we face the lean months before the 1918 harvest. Our State Food Administrator asks that every home having wheat or flour In storage, whether purchased or pro-duced, to sell alL. above the amount actually needed to supply the family counting the use of substitutes. In cases where the family are grown, substitutes, potatoes supplemented with milk, green vegetables and fruits will provide nutritious meals, seasoned with the Joy of servicel a sure pro-moter of good digestion. If there Is a tendency to compluln of soaring prices, some are frank to admit that It costs less to supply their families with bread when purchasing substi-tutes than before, as less bread Is re-quired; at the Mine time more nu-trition Is supplied. Is It not fortunate that the potato surplus occurred In time to allow us to accede to this new demand Vlthout jiiischance to our families? In answer to one who called atten-tion to our present sacrifices, a veter-an of eighty smiled as she remarked, "we paid a dollar a loaf during the Civil war;" In response to which a hundred and- - fifty women rose and pledged themselves to a house to house canvass to give their sisters a chance to "get in" on this piece of work. A year ago we did our "bit," now we think our ''all" too small a thing in face of the heroism of the men and women "over there." Quickly now while there Is time, every woman should send word to the nearest mil-ler or local dealer, the amount of flour to be released. imVestovS.n"C heard the cnl1 ' Home' Demonstration Agentofyour' county or the chairman of the Food Conservation Committee, and they will Instruct you.

MASTERS REPLIES TO PRESS-BULLETI- N EDITORIAL (Communication) Your editorial of a recent Issue does not give me a fair shake In the minds of the Bingham people and in order to correct the false Impression 1 will ask you to he kind enough to publish this statement. On the first place there was no in-tention of hurting anyones feelings but the purpose of a newspaper is to tell the people the news untarnished and free from prejudice. There is too much liquor being dispensed In Bing-ham and that was exactly what I meant in my editorial which appeared In the Press-'Bulleti- of two weeks ago. Your police court records are the best evidence of this fact. The discovery of nearly $1000 worth of liquor In one of the garages right in the heart of the town a week ago Wednesday Is another evidence that it Is being sold. This liquor would not be taken to Bingham to oil these cars with it was taken there to wet men's throats and it is being sold at an ex'iorbatant price for this purpose. I did not get the two towns of Provo and Bingham mixed because when I find evidence to this effect in PrDvo I go straight after the police force of the city or county as the case may be and they usually put the offenders be-hind the bars in short time. I know on in Vronrmrrit hatoM&itgolng to the minimum and we are still pres-sing the fisrht. If there Is no liquor being sold in Bingham why has the county author-ities sent several special deputies in-to the camp to clean up things? I do not wish to give Bingham a black eye, but conditions in this district are not what they should be. I be-lieve there is more law breaking in the county districts outside of the town proper tl an there is right in the confines of the incorporated town.but regardless of where illegal sale of liquor is going on a more strenuous efort should be put forth to spuelch it. 'Bingham can be made "iflone Dry" If the people and the officers demand it, but if both wink at the conditions they will continue as they have been. I was only in IBlngham one day last week, yet I heard a lot of complaints about the conditions of the camp in regard to its morale. Respectfully, I. H. MASTERS YOUR LIBERTY BOND? The American who buys a Liberty Bond and forthwith sells it has performed only half a service to this country. To buy bonds and then sell them is the slacker's pro-Germa- way of doing things. It makes the burden of this country heavier rather than lighter, as it decreases the market value of the bonds. Liberty Bonds are the safest, soundest and one of the best investments in the world today. To sell them unless imperatively required is not good business. In fact it is not good Americanism. When you buy your Liberty Bond remember that it is as strong as all the banks, all the farms, all the mines, all the fac-tories, all the lands, all the people, and all the power of the strong-est nation in the world. When you buy your Liberty Bond, KEEP IT, DONT SELL IT. When vou buy your bond remember that he who can afford who can afford 100 ana Days TjQ.t4i,Jr .n.ji uatriot than he ;k Therefore, if you're not a Liberty Bond slacker you will keep your bond. If you sell it unless it is absolutely imperative you ?rfxra,!,lae ?s muh as the man who would not register, or the J.

I GRANGE AND NON-PARTISA- N LEAGUE Some of the best friends of agriculture in the United States, who have proved by their works that their devotion to its wel- - cere, are seriously disturbed over the spread of a n-r- . ment in the Northwest which bears every indication of containing .a positive menace to the highest progress of the real farmers of the country, and which is destined to injure the very cause which it professes to espouse. Reference is, made to the so-call- ed Farmersr Non-Partis- an League, in several of the states in the Northwest, which by whirl-wind methods, by extravagant promises and by radical pronounce- ments, has been gathering great momentum in some sections, while the movement is also gaining a foothold in some of the East- ern states. The very nature of the new organization does not point in the direction of permanence, nor does it contain those ele- ments of strength 1 h:.l j- .- vrc rry: i.VJrg service to the farm peo-ple in any state ; while the unfortunate entanglements this organi- zation has permitted, with those whose purpose is clearly to under-mine the American government, to reduce its fighting efficien-- y and to give aid to the enemy, is an indictment against the Non-Partis- League from which it can never clear itself in the esti- mate of patriotic, red-blood- ed American citizens, farmers and otherwise. If the Non-Partis- an League has not actually surrendered itself 10 msioyai practices, it has at least trifled with its reputation to a " dtreugereAemesruifcfainc.ient to put it under suspicion, in the eyes of everv But the chief purpose of this article is to make clear that the AnS? ls.u0t identlf ied in Wfly with the Non-Partis- an and that the League Grange stands sponsor in no way for its principles or its results. Efforts that have been made, in countless cases to so entangle the Grange should be repudiated at everv point' for the Grange and the Non-Partis- an League are moving from absolutely different viewpoints and have no common basis The grange was here, doing valiant service for the farm people of the United States, long before this new movement of the Northwest was ever dreamed of; and it may still be here after that move- ment has been forgotten. The Grange is non-partis- in the true, broad sense Its service is unselfish and continuous for the farm interests of America. The Grange seeks no class legislation or special favors lor farmers, simply because they are farmers, but names as its supreme ideal "Th.e greatest good to the greatest number" The Grange is absolutely loyal to its government and tolerates within its meetings and among its leaders no spark of even the sugges- tion of disloyalty. On these four decisive issues the Grange and the N an League are as wide apart as if oceans separated tnem. Let this fact be here and now made clear to evervone that whatever may be the future of the Non-Partis- an League, no responsibility for that future rests upon the Grange or upon the real leaders of the Grange. As the two organizations go on, the fruits of each shall prove it, of what manner it be. National (.range Bulletin. In Damp Weather.
